Step by Step Solution
Reformatting the input :
Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:
(1): "19.232" was replaced by "(19232/1000)".
Step 1 :
2404
Simplify ————
125
Equation at the end of step 1 :
2404
((———— + 3) + 7) + 3
125
Step 2 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
2.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 125 as the denominator :
3 3 • 125
3 = — = ———————
1 125
Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole
Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
2.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
2404 + 3 • 125 2779
—————————————— = ————
125 125
Equation at the end of step 2 :
2779
(———— + 7) + 3
125
Step 3 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
3.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 125 as the denominator :
7 7 • 125
7 = — = ———————
1 125
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
3.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
2779 + 7 • 125 3654
—————————————— = ————
125 125
Equation at the end of step 3 :
3654
———— + 3
125
Step 4 :
Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :
4.1 Adding a whole to a fraction
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 125 as the denominator :
3 3 • 125
3 = — = ———————
1 125
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
4.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
3654 + 3 • 125 4029
—————————————— = ————
125 125
Final result :
4029
———— = 32.23200
125
